Dear Family,
I hope you all enjoy the photos! It sounds like this week is going to be a very fun time to spend with all the family and to enjoy a week of rest. We had our Holy Week last week and while we didn't really have a holiday to take a break, we did have an incredible amount of eating visits and I thought I was going to gain 5 or 10 pounds by the end of it! All the food we ate was delicious and we loved feeling the spirit of our area and the desires that the members have to help us in all the missionary work that we have. In total, we contacted about 5 referrals that we got and ended the week with 8 new investigators!
Two of these new investigators came to church and they enjoyed their time with us and the members. Their names are Joaquin and Olga and the are married and work here in Terrassa. He is a piano instructor, which hit off a quick friendship with Elder Glenn and him, because Elder Glenn is an incredible piano player and wants to go into music composition after the mission. We look forward to seeing what miracles will lay in store for us this week and see what we can do to help them.
Speaking of music, we also stayed for choir after church yesterday and we sang Homeward Bound (Retorno a Casa in Spanish or something like that) and it was a great song. I´m kind of excited to be able to sing in a choir again because I've found that I would enjoy having that talent and I have mommy and daddy for helping me begin that desire! Thanks!
Our Easter was good, but there was nothing really special that we did.. except at district meeting, because the sister missionaries got the chapel early and hid little Easter bunny presents around in the garden area next to the church, and it was incredibly fun! Ah, and now we are looking forward to General Conference next week [twice a year the entire church tunes into Salt Lake City for a general conference with our church leaders] and I´m glad that some of you will be able to see it in person!
Oh well, I guess all I have to say more is that.... OS QUIERO!!!!
